Selective permeability refers to the function of plasma membranes that is needed to maintain homeostasis in a cell and prevent foriegn substances from entering through the cells walls.
Some molecules can pass, some are blocked

Use the term selectively permeable in a sentence that demonstrates its meaning?
m
Cells have selectively what?
Selectively permeable.
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
What is definition of selectively permeable?
The selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer (a.k.a plasma membrane) is 'selectively permeable' because it selects which molecules it allows to permeate (pass through).
What is the relationship between cell membrane and selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are indeed selectively permeable.
How is dialysis membrane selectively permeable?
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
What is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but excludes others?
A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.
What is the basic strcture of a cell membrane?
Cell membrane is elastic and transparent. It can be impermeable, permeable, semi-permeable or selectively permeable. In humans the plasma membrane is selectively permeable that is it allows entry to certain substance.
Does the membrane of a cell is selectively permeable?
no
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
Is a mirror selectively permeable?
A mirror is not selectively permeable. The mirror's surface is rigid since it cannot allow any substances to pass through it.
What does a selectively permeable membrane do?
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
